I think you meant high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar (which is real sugar)

Woops, my bad, you are right!

Exactly. To remind us - it's the fructose which is a metabolic problem in amounts over a certain value - worth checking out why. Cane sugar and beet sugar both contain sucrose which is one glucose linked to one fructose molecule so you get half the fructose.
